We puppy-sat Benny for 6 weeks and were very happy to do so. Benny is an amazing dog with a gentle soul and a kind heart. He is one of the calmest dogs I’ve ever known, but he still knows how to have fun and enjoys swimming and finding the biggest stick in the...

It’s been another month of work/play balance for Benny. Getting up at about 6 a.m. to avoid the summer heat, Benny gets his playtime in at the park and the lake. All this energy requires a nap. Then off to do errands like the mall, which is good for working on...

Benny spent much of July trying to avoid the heat. Going to places with cold floors where he could stretch out, became one of his favorite activities. He also enjoyed some shady forest walks and was happy to find a refreshing pond to cool off in. Every day is a...

June was all about “work/play” balance for Benny. Benny started volunteering once a week at a local Lodge for out-of-town guests who are receiving medical treatment. It’s clear to see that Benny’s presence is a lovely distraction. The Lodge guests and staff truly...

Now seven months, Benny spent most of March with a sitter. This was a bit of a change for Benny. He usually wakes up around 6 am. With his sitter, Benny had to get up bright and early (5ish) and go to a “regular” job. This meant being officially on duty...

Hard to believe that little Benny is now six months old. Well, he’s not so little, and it seems that each morning as he stretches out of his kennel, Benny is getting bigger, to the point of being about 55 pounds. A bigger body, yet still as adorable and puppyish as...

At five months, Benny has come a long way. He is fully house-trained, happily sleeps in his kennel and loves to be pampered with a bath or toothbrushing (it is, after all, chicken-flavored toothpaste). Even so, Benny is far from being a grown-up. He still loves his...

Oh, how Benny is growing. At nearly 4 months old, Benny is now in the 30-pound range. He’s too big to climb under couches and beds and has graduated from his baby kennel to an adult-size one. Still, Benny is very much a puppy. He loves his toys and sneakily steals...
